Single answerAn organization is migrating its on-premises multi-tier application to AWS. The application has strict latency requirements and processes sensitive customer data. The organization wants to use Amazon EC2 instances for its web and application tiers and Amazon RDS for the database tier. They also need a secure and low-latency connection between their on-premises data center and the AWS environment. Which AWS service or solution would best meet the connectivity requirements?
- A
AWS VPN
- B
AWS Direct Connect
- C
Amazon CloudFront
- D
AWS Global Accelerator
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
AWS Direct Connect is the optimal solution for scenarios requiring a secure, low-latency, and high-bandwidth connection between an on-premises environment and AWS. It bypasses the public internet to establish a dedicated connection, making it more suitable for latency-sensitive applications compared to AWS VPN.
- A. Incorrect.
AWS VPN provides secure connectivity but is not the best option for low-latency requirements as it relies on the public internet.
- B. Correct.
AWS Direct Connect is the best solution for low-latency, high-bandwidth, and secure connections between on-premises data centers and AWS environments.
- C. Incorrect.
Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) designed for distributing content globally with low latency, but it is not intended for establishing connectivity between on-premises and AWS.
- D. Incorrect.
AWS Global Accelerator improves the availability and performance of an application globally but does not provide a direct connection between on-premises and AWS.
